HBPs of note - Sept 18, 2008
Jimmy Rollins of the Phillies collected his 30th career HBP in Atlanta last night, but what was more interesting about that was that it was thrown by the re-animated corpse of Mike Hampton. Okay, maybe it was just his career that was dead, but Hampton hasn't hit a batter since July 19, 2003, also against the Phillies. After showing that he has the ability to hit Jimmy Rollins with a pitch, I'm sure Atlanta will now jump at the chance to pick up Hampton's $20mil contract option for 2009.
Also of note, Oriole Greg Olson threw his 10th career HBP, hitting Curtis Thigpen, and Dodger Chan Ho Park threw the 130th plunk of his career, plunking Nyher Morgan.
And, 4 other batters got plunked by 4 other pitchers, but they didn't do it in any statistically interesting ways.
